Thank You,

Well done, would love to do as good a job as you have. Just one thing, any chance of the text info (paint colours etc) being on screen a bit longer as I find myself rewinding a lot. Having said that I do like your speeded up filming, great fun to watch, cheers
Absolutely beautiful end results on the painting part, and building too don't get me wrong, after the tribulations that stopped me completing mine. Beautiful result.
What a lovely paint job and superb weathering you have done on the Meteor. It actually looks just like a real plane and shows just how good a job can be done with the right skills and tools, well done my friend.
Joe's Model Kits reminds me of the many Meteors under tarps and sitting on the sidelines of the Yorkshire air museum. Faded but still got their old glory. Half of them can still run, the old Centrifugal turbojets are so reliable.
Excellent build my friend...one of my all time favourite British jets.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Damn fine job there, well done!
Very nice I, I admire your attention to detail.
Great paint job!
Nice video and great paintwork and weathering.
Beautiful job.
That first decal was satisfying af...

excellent work, unfortunately in my community this plane is very famous because it had many accidents around here. greetings from Argentina
I know you don't rate this kit ... But that look brilliant I would be chuffed to bits great build

Love it! Beautiful work mate!
Got a couple of these, one....I'll turn into a Swedish 'what if' fighter....
What a nice dedication to detail!!
Very good❤
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
I'll have to try to find picture of my uncle next to his Meteor to see which colour he had. Think it was silver. He stayed in RAF after WW2
That would be a nice insight if you could. Feel free to share it with me and drop me an email :) Thanks for watching :)
Awesome!New Subscriber!
Personally I would have spent a little more time eliminating the fuselage join line given that it's a monotone paint job. But it's your project and if you're happy with it, then that's all that is important.
The plane was overall natural finish. Why did you use black basing on the underside with marbling, but used pre-shading on the upper surfaces?
I used black basing on the underside to create a more weathered and mottled effect whereas the top would be less weathered, meaning a smoother effect on the paint surface. I used pre shading to achieve it
They weren't natural metal finish - it was a silver lacquer called 'High Speed Silver'.
Hey I have a question about airbrushing. Do you need to do like layers with brush painting or can u just do 1 layer
You need to do around 3 layers (depending on paint thickness). I start with a "dust" coat to lay the colour coat down initially, then followed by 2 more slightly heavier coats to get the colour to build up. The paint I use is moderately thinned to be accepted through an airbrush for reference. Around a 60:40 Paint:Thinner Mix
Great build, What white primer did you use on the model?
Thanks Daz85UK. I used regular acrylic aerosol can from a DIY store. I dont do this method before as I can get a better finish using my airbrush and Tamiya paints
Thanks for the reply. One other question, do you use a matt coat to finish the model? If so what one do you use?
Daz85UK No problem. Yes I use a mix of Humbrol Gloss & Matte clear to get a satin/matte finish. Pure matte seems to make the model white so the gloss takes this away.
A mix of around 70:30 gloss:matte if it helps
The F8 version was used in the Cold War
One word "Wow !!!!!!"
What's the music?
Well done mate, nice model nuff said plus, WHO THE FUCK GIVES THIS VID A "THUMBS DOWN" AND LEAVES NO COMMENT!.....REALLY ive had this on my model vids if you don't like it then at have respect to say why and leave a comment......GRRRRRRR...…..

Tranceformers 1 music ...😯
I am an OLD kit collector, (and builder), and I wonder: does anibody stil use painting brushes???
When I started, (1957/58), there where NOT aerographs, and I did EVERITHING with brushes!!!
Even today, (and I have several aerographs), I dont use them to paint, for exemple, cockpit interiors!!
I do it with painting brushes, and trying to have a steady hand!!!
I only use the aerographs for larger surfaces .
I can not imagine all the trouble of CONSTANTLY have to clean those aerographs, if you use them constantly!!!
No great art in that!!!
A Rodrigues I do use a brush where possible, you are right cleaning them out all the time is very annoying! I try to manage my paint sequence so I spray multiple parts the same colour simultaneously. The order of the video isn't necessarily the order I made it in 😉. Painting by airbrush is an art I use to achieve smoother paint results
I still use brush
I found switching to Air "brushes" seamless, don't get me wrong. I still hand brush details. but I think in todays multimedia kits, I think you will find air brushing has become the new norm.
Poor.
I'm sorry that you think that. Airfix didn't do a great job on this one on terms of fitment of the smaller parts so was a difficult build. I hope you can join me for my latest bare-metal effect airframe with Airfix's 1/48 Spitfire FR Mk XIV in the future. Thanks for watching
@@TheInnerNerd There is always one who makes such a disrespectful one word negative comment, genuine feedback even if negative is fine but to say "poor" with no explanation is just disrespectful and "poor".
@@TheInnerNerd Its a pity that malcontent21 thinks it fine to make a one word negative comment. Genuine feedback even if negative is fine as long as reasons are given but to just say "poor" is disrespectful and "poor".
Loved your build although myself I would have spent more time on puttying and Sanding the fuselage and wing seams . It would have turned it from a great build to an outstanding build . The weathering was outstanding
